CLEAN BEAUTY AWARDS Finalists!

Check out which clean brands made the cut over hundreds of products tested by experts for the 2018 CertClean Clean Beauty Awards.

When it comes to beauty products, I’m a certified junkie. With over a decade of experience using, testing and learning about different brands, I’m happy to say that although as a working editor and lifestyle expert I’ve paired down my choices within the last few years.

From researching ingredients and learning about how some products can actually be toxic to your health, it’s no wonder it’s become more important more than ever that we are aware of what we are putting on our skin.

This is why I chose to be a part of the 2018 CertClean Clean Beauty Awards. Testing various products in the skincare category was particularly important to me because what we let seep into our skin effects our overall health. Not only was it fun to share which products I thought worked best, but I got introduced to many brands I have not heard about or tried. It was an amazing experience to be a part of.

On that note, the finalists for the best performing nontoxic beauty and skincare products—from makeup to hair care to skincare— have been announced! ​Over 300 products entered for 2018 and judging took place from August to December. The global Clean Beauty Awards are completely independent – each product was tried, tested, and scored by an independent panel of judges located in North America, Europe, and Australia.

Have a look at the finalist. There may be some brands you recognize and some new ones. Although the top winner in each category will be announced this spring, this list highlights the best of the best in their category and guaranteed to be non-synthetic, toxic free and good for your skin.
